President Donald Trump is making it clear that the U.S. government will officially recognize just two genders. He’s also gearing up to roll back federal protections for transgender individuals.
During his inaugural speech from the Capitol Rotunda on Monday, he laid out his vision. “As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders — male and female.” Trump is set to drop an executive order that could cut back on medical care and participation in sports for transgender people. An incoming official mentioned that moving forward, passports and visas will only recognize two sexes, as reported by The Associated Press.

On his first day in office four years back, Joe Biden signed an executive order aimed at safeguarding individuals from discrimination “on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation.” Trump intends to get rid of that.
In other comments on Monday, Trump mentioned he plans to “revoke the electric vehicle mandate.” He’s also made headlines before by saying he wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
